Wernick Method classes will get you jamming!
No jamming experience necessary. Ear skills taught and emphasized as in real bluegrass. Gentle tempos, soloing not required, mistakes expected!
"Dr. Banjo", Pete Wernick, has selected and trained teachers in 15 states and Australia to use his time-tested methods for all bluegrass instruments and levels, novice through advanced intermediate.  Everyone is jamming at the first class! Only requirements: change smoothly between G, C, D, and A.
Try Jamalot to practice jam skills at home! New to banjo? Try the Banjo Beginners page.
"So much more fun than playing on the couch by myself."
